Upgrades
We do not charge runtime license fees, or royalties. You are free to redistribute our CD/DVD recording SDK components with your application as long as your deployment model continues to be within the scope of your original License.
Licensing Check list
As you consider which license to purchase, please keep in mind the following criteria:
- How many developers, or automated build systems (an automated build systems is considered as a developer) will need access to the SDK for the project in question? If anyone in your organization needs access to our SDK components from within any type of development environment, they will need an additional developers license.
- How many employees does your organization employ?
- In how many physical sites (locations) does development occur? In other words, does your development involving our SDK occur at multiple sites?
- Does your project require development of an embedded application? If so, are you developing more than one application?
- What kind of support do you need? Please Read Technical Support and Product Upgrades

Technical Support And Upgrades
Basic technical support and product updates (patches, bug-fixes, etc.) are provided at no charge for the first year. This does not include product version upgrades beyond 90 days or priority technical support. This is an important consideration because the technology in the NMSDVD Burning SDK is frequently upgraded due to rapid changes in the CD/DVD storage market (supporting new devices types/media, operating systems, etc). The introduction of Blu-Ray and HD-DVD devices (which we support) are good examples of these technology advancements.
Software Assurance Subscription
The optional 'Software Assurance Subscription' will allow you to obtain all upgrades at no cost during the term of your subscription. This subscription also includes all of the benefits of our 'Priority Technical Support' which provides high priority support via email with a 24-72 hour response time during normal business hours. The 'Software Assurance Subscription' can only be purchased at the time of the initial License purchase and is not available at a later date. Customers without a valid 'Software Assurance Subscription' will need to purchase any product version upgrades at 80% of the full retail price. Please see our EULA for specific details.
Please contact us if you have any questions or have special considerations. Thank you!
* The Professional License Software Assurance Subscription covers ALL developers at a company or organization that have a valid Professional Developer's License for the term of the subscription. It is not a "per developer" fee.
